Bab 574: Preparation to the New Order

— A Day Later —

— Oceanos - New Atlantis Ministry of Defense, Oceanos Branch —

Aboard the super-submarine Oceanos, in the sprawling cityscape of the vast living area at its center, stood the primary building housing key departments and services. The New Atlantis Ministry of Defense branch occupied one of the floors.

Here, Cao Cao and many of Daniel's top lieutenants sat at a round table. Apart from Penthesilea, who was absent, all of Daniel's top lieutenants were present. Vlad, who remained in Europe with the Sanguinis Clan, was here, as was James, the werewolf. James, usually a no-show, had left the U.S., where he preferred to stay with his girlfriend, Lust, the Witch of Lust, to attend this meeting.

Also present were Hermes, Atlanteus, Odysseus, Heracles, Albert, Guo Jia, Momotaro, and the newest additions to the lieutenant ranks, like Michaela, Tomoe Gozen, and Will—all those not currently assigned to bodyguard duty.
